Roosevelt Papers: Telegram

President Roosevelt to Generalissimo Chiang1

[Washington,] November 10, 1943.

Personal and most secret from the President to the Generalissimo

I am terribly sorry to learn of Madame Chiang’s illness2 and sincerely hope that she will be fully recovered in time for our conference.

I have had a long talk with General Somervell and appreciate very much your courtesies to him. He has given me your private message3 as I have already indicated to you.4

I agree with you fully that we should meet together before I see Stalin. I want so much to have some good talks with you so, naturally, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing you.

Roosevelt
